A day after the successful iBlog5 summit, fifty bloggers were invited by Enchanted Kingdom to experience a tiring yet magical day by participating in the Magicalympics Bloggers Edition!

Initially, I thought we were invited just to test the rides and play like little kiddos inside Enchanted Kingdom. We were a bit surprised when we were divided into different groups. We have this bandana that will represent which group we all belong to. Thank God I belong to the Green Team which is composed of Carl, Alan, Jason, Monique, Monch, Mark, Mark C., Kevin and Louie.
Before everyone went to their designated groups, we all went to the 4D Theater first and ate lunch afterwards. We were asked to go to our respective groups after an hour and we were all ready to rumble LOLz. Let the Magicalympics begin! Woot!

The decree was written by Onziminic-Markku Sauvé of the French Council of State. The word décret, literally “decree”, is in current legal usage in France and is used to refer to orders issued by the Prime Minister.

So why am I writing about this? Wala lang, to be unique. Nyok!. The above title was actually a horizontally flipped phrase and the definition above was absolutely nothing but a joke. If you flip it back, you can read it as “My Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009″. All who participated in the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs had the same uniform title, I flipped mine to be different from the rest. I’m not crazy… who says I […]

Last Sunday, Mica and I spent some time together. It has been a while that I’ve been with her. We went over our usual kikay talk over coffee at Krispy Kreme, but that time we were in Robinsons Galleria. After about two hours or less of chatting, we decided to …

Many are asking me personaly and through my personal mail if I know where to get themes, games, applications etc for Nokia e63. Now, I took the time to compile this list of downloadables for nokia e63 and nokia e71. A bunch of my friends have been an e-series convert especially the e63 since it’s just affordable for a whole bunch of functionality it has. Nokia e71 apps and nokia e63 ones can actually be used on either phones as I believe they just have the same platform. I am not sure about some apps but I have installed some e71 apps on my e63 phone and it just works fine. Enjoy downloading and browsing throught these free stuff… ciaoz!

Last week, a number of bloggers blogged about the new social networking site called Sandbox. It was also featured on a Sunday variety show and the official tv commercial of the said website was also publicly shown.

So what is Sandbox? It is a Philippine-based web portal that has the similar services like friendster but with online store. Months ago, a number of individuals were invited to be among the beta testers and since that they, groups and communities were formed by members with different interests. Isn’t that cool?

It was thru Sandbox were I appreciated the art of mobile blogging. I never really pictured myself updating my blog or upload some of my MMs pics thru my phone.
Anyway, Sandbox is not just a place where you can interact with some of your friends. You can also upload photos and videos, build groups, participate in contests and receive freebies and the latest […]

Sandbox is another Social Networking site, but what makes SandBox different from other Social Networking sites? You can access SandBox both using your mobile (m.mysandbox.com) and internet (mysandbox.com). It allows you to download music, games and mobile themes straight to your mobile. You can even upload photos, videos direct from your mobile to SandBox online immediately on the go!

My favorite part here in SandBox is that you can change your profile status, upload and download photos, videos, shoutouts and send private messages to friends in just few clicks using your mobile. What is more fascinating here in SandBox is that you can download and watch popular video specials like Youtube star Ramon Bautista (David Blaine’s Most funniest parody).
What’s more with SandBox? SandBox has services like Friendster but with online store also with services like Facebook but with online store.
How to blog with Sandbox. Blogging on the go can […]

Have you tried drinking Pepsi Max? I think it’s the only cola out there that’s being marketed as an energy drink. Am I right?
With so many varieties of zero calorie – no sugar soft drinks in the market, Pepsi Max stands out in terms of its campaigns. Pepsi Max usually shows funny and unique commercials […]

* I wasn’t able to sleep well last night because I recorded a song with The Singing Blogger. How? Well, I recorded my voice first and sent the audio file to him. After an hour of editing, we were able to produce our own rendition of Careless Whisper. The idea of having a duet started when I voted for his blog as one of the emerging influential blogs of 2009. We have a number of songs in mind for our duet, but we decided to record the George Micheal/Tamia hit since a blogger sent the instrumental version to him. Nice!

* My grandfather called me up this morning informing me about our hotel booking for Boracay. He was a bit worried and was indirectly blaming me for something. In short, FAIL. I need to look for a good hotel as soon as possible or else i’m dead

I was planning to post this two weeks ago when I bought a bagful of products from The Body Shop out of my usual impulsive buying attitude but it took me sometime to get a hand on their sale brochure.
So here, in their celebration of their 13th year, The Body …

If ever you find yourself dining in Chowking, then I’d recommend that you try Sjora. Simply pronounced as sah-jo-rah, this is a peach and mango fusion drink made creamy with milk.
When you sip Sjora, the mango initially consumes your palette and ends with a kick of peach as aftertaste. All the while, the milk gives […]

Pictures say more than words… I had my Nikon D40 with 18-55mm kit lens once again with me. Inexpensive equipment costing PHP 20,000 with body, kit and bag. I added some little bucks for the UV filter and the Circular Polarizer filter. That’s all I have, plus my imagination and vision! With this, I am just making the most out of my humble gears. This Tagaytay trip was not planned much.. It was half-impromptu. And all we did is take some photos. Enjoy!
Waking up in Tagaytay collage

It’s a bliss… Summer’s up and at least in Tagaytay you get to feel cool breeze at night.

Lovely pictures of flowers everywhere

Really lovely sky when I woke up… The clouds were well-formed… They skies are blue…. Perfect!

Last Thursday, I was fortunate enough to be chosen as one of the five bloggers to cover the Cinemalaya 2009 press conference. I am seriously a big fan of Filipino Independent Movies and I am a supporter of these films which i believe must be patronized by the public as most of these works are based on the “real” side of the Philippines and its people. Some of my favorite Cinemalaya films are Endo and 100.
